I inked my first editorial cartoon when I was fourteen. After cartooning through high school and college (the University of Michigan’s The Michigan Daily and the London School of Economic’s The Beaver) for school papers, I decided to pursue my other passion – international development. I did some cartooning over the past 20 years for local papers (The Takoma Voice, Takoma Park, MD) and at graduate school (at the Kennedy School of Government).
More recently I was published at The Baltimore Sun and am looking forward to publishing my work in similar media outlets and possibly in one of the syndicates. Starting in March 2025, I began cartooning for the Sun as a full-time freelance editorial cartoonist with the expectation that I produce 3-5 cartoons/week. My cartoons cover mostly local, state, and regional topics, although they will occasionally address national and global issues.
I look forward to receiving feedback from AAEC members and viewers of the AAEC website.

I will tailor the speech’s content and duration to the audience’s preferences, based on the client’s inputs, and can give the speech in English, French, or Spanish.
Audio/visual equipment – a projector with peripheral connection to an Apple MacBook computer; microphone; etc.
My daily rate is on a sliding scale, depending on the size and operating budget of of the client and the purpose of the speech.

The mission of the AAEC is to champion and defend editorial cartooning and free speech as essential to liberty in the United States and throughout the world.
The AAEC aims to be an international leader in support of the human, civil, and artistic rights of editorial cartoonists around the world, and to stand with other international groups in support of the profession.
As I’m writing this, the House is in an all-night session, not so much debating Trump’s major bill as seeing which side can hold on...
The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.
The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio — and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
Every two weeks throughout the year, The Learning Forum and the AAEC offers CARTOONS FOR THE CLASSROOM, a free lesson resource for teachers discussing current events. Visit NIEonline.com for more lesson plans.
